Several key factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Tyler:

• Type and size of bus: Larger vehicles like a 56-passenger motorcoach cost more than smaller 18-, 20-, or 25-seat minibuses. Specialty/luxury coaches (e.g., entertainer coaches) also command higher rates.
• Trip duration and distance: Local Tyler rentals may be billed hourly (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer trips are charged by the day or by mileage. Multi-day and out-of-town trips (to Dallas, Houston, Shreveport, etc.) increase the total cost.
• Time of year: Peak months (spring and fall) see higher rates due to school and sports demand. Summer and winter holidays can also affect pricing.
• Itinerary details: Additional stops, layovers, tolls (e.g., on Toll Loop 49), and parking fees (at venues like the Oil Palace or Rose Stadium) may be added to the base rate.
• Driver expenses: For multi-day or long-distance trips, you’ll need to cover the driver’s hotel and meals.
• Fuel prices: Fluctuations in fuel costs can impact your quote.

Charter Bus Rental Tyler offers a full range of vehicles from 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, plus several mid-size (30-, 35-, 40-passenger) and multiple ADA-accessible options.

All vehicles are 2016 or newer models from top brands including Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, Champion, and Executive Coach Builders. Minibuses are ideal for smaller groups, shuttles, or short trips, while full-size coaches are best for large groups, longer distances, or anyone needing extra luggage space. Mid-size buses (30–40 seats) are available for groups that need something in between. Many vehicles can be upgraded with premium interiors, and several models are available pre-wrapped in black, white, silver, or custom graphics. If you aren’t sure what size or type of bus you need, our team can help you choose the best option based on your group size, budget, and trip details.

Our charter buses in Tyler come with a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features include plush reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead reading lights, and ample storage space both inside the cabin and underneath the bus. Most of our vehicles are equipped with flat-screen monitors and DVD players for group movie viewing, as well as a quality sound system with Bluetooth and auxiliary input for music playback.

For staying connected, many of our buses offer onboard Wi-Fi and 110V power outlets or USB charging ports at each seat—perfect for streaming content, catching up on emails, or powering devices during the trip. Additional amenities can include individual LED reading lights, tinted windows for privacy, and PA systems for announcements. If you require something specific—such as leather upholstery, tray tables, or additional video screens—just let us know when you request a quote, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Most full-size (40–56 passenger) charter buses include a restroom with a toilet and hand sanitizer or small sink. Smaller minibuses (15–35 passengers) typically do not have a bathroom due to space constraints. If a restroom is important, request a full-size coach when booking. For comfort, especially on longer trips, plan regular stops at facilities with larger restrooms.

Yes, most newer-model charter buses (especially full-size 40–56 passenger coaches) come equipped with 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports. These are often located at each seat or shared between pairs of seats. Many of the newer-model full-size (40–56 passenger) coaches in our Tyler fleet come equipped with 110V power outlets and/or USB charging ports at every row—sometimes even one per seat. These may be integrated into the armrests, seat backs, or side panels along the wall. Some mid-size and larger minibuses (25–35 passengers) also offer outlets, though they may be less common on older or smaller vehicles. If access to power is important for your group—whether for laptops, tablets, or phones—please mention this requirement when you request a quote. Our team will make sure you’re assigned a vehicle that meets your needs and can specify exactly how many outlets are available and where they’re located on the bus.

Yes, many of the charter buses and minibuses in our Tyler fleet offer onboard Wi-Fi as a standard or optional amenity. This feature is available on most newer-model full-size coaches and can also be found on several mid-size and larger minibuses (25–35 passengers). The Wi-Fi connection allows passengers to browse the web, check email, and use social media apps while on the road. However, bandwidth may be limited, so streaming video or downloading large files could be slower than on a typical home or office network.

If having reliable Wi-Fi is important for your trip—whether for work, school, or entertainment—please mention this when requesting a quote. Our team will ensure your vehicle is equipped with Wi-Fi and can provide details about connection speed and coverage. For groups with high data needs, such as corporate travelers or student groups, we recommend confirming the exact capabilities in advance.

Yes, all our larger charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size coaches (40–56 passengers) feature undercarriage bays that can hold large suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items—ideal for airport transfers, sports teams with gear, or band equipment. Additionally, there are overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller bags, backpacks, or personal items.

Minibuses (15–35 passengers) typically have interior storage at the rear of the vehicle and overhead shelves for carry-on-sized items. While they don’t offer the same under-floor bays as larger coaches, there’s still sufficient room for most group outings. If your group is traveling with extra-large or unusual cargo—such as musical instruments, trade show displays, or athletic equipment—please mention this when booking. We can recommend the best vehicle to accommodate your luggage needs and ensure you have adequate space.

Our fleet includes vehicles that can accommodate groups of nearly any size. Minibuses are available in configurations ranging from 18 to 35 seats, making them ideal for smaller groups, shuttles, or short-distance trips. Full-size charter buses can seat anywhere from 40 up to 56 passengers and are best suited for larger groups, such as school outings, athletic teams, or corporate events.

If you’re traveling with a very large group, we can arrange for multiple buses to operate together. Conversely, for small parties, a minibus offers a more economical and appropriately sized option. When requesting a quote, simply specify your headcount, and we’ll recommend a vehicle that fits everyone comfortably.

In Tyler, charter buses can load, unload, and park at several convenient locations throughout the city. Popular spots include large venue parking lots such as CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Rose Stadium, the Oil Palace, and the W.T. Brookshire Conference Center, which are all equipped to handle oversized vehicles. Downtown Tyler offers designated loading zones near major hotels and event spaces, though curbside parking may be subject to city regulations—always check posted signage. For longer-term parking, consider using the Tyler ISD stadium lots, Tyler Junior College auxiliary lots, or the Broadway Square Mall perimeter parking area. Smaller venues like the Cowan Center at UT Tyler and the Rose Garden Center also provide bus-friendly access points. When planning pickups or drop-offs, coordinate with venue staff in advance to confirm the best staging area. If your itinerary includes multiple stops—such as hotel-to-venue shuttles or restaurant outings—our team can help identify the most efficient and legal locations for boarding and disembarking across Tyler.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally at least 3–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons in Tyler due to school trips, sports events, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly during these times. For major events or busy weekends, booking even earlier is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher pricing.
